With decades of legal experience across multiple jurisdictions, Jenn brings both sharp litigation skills and a steady, human-centered approach to every case she handles.

Background and Experience

Jenn was born in Ashland, Ohio, and raised in Mansfield before returning to Columbus, where she now practices law. She earned her undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University, graduating magna cum laude with a background in journalism. Her early training as a writer continues to shape her legal career, giving her a strong command of advocacy, precision, and clear communication.

Jenn went on to earn her Juris Doctor from Capital University Law School, where she graduated Order of the Curia and served as Publishing Editor of the Capital University Law Review. During law school, she led a pro bono legal program serving individuals experiencing homelessness, providing direct legal representation and earning recognition for the program’s impact.

Her career has included work in Ohio, Illinois, and Florida. Jenn has handled insurance defense matters, served as a Guardian ad Litem in abuse and neglect cases, and worked extensively in domestic relations litigation. She has also been recognized as an Influential Woman in Law for her professional accomplishments and community involvement.

Joining The Joslyn Law Firm

After running a successful solo practice, Jenn chose to join The Joslyn Law Firm to continue serving clients with the added support, resources, and stability of a full-service firm. This move allows her to focus more fully on advocacy and client outcomes, while providing families with the security and continuity that come from working within a respected legal team.

Jenn’s values align closely with The Joslyn Law Firm’s mission. She believes in honest counsel, ethical billing, and guiding clients toward outcomes they can live with long after a case is resolved. For Jenn, peace of mind, fairness, and forward momentum matter just as much as legal results.

Family Law Practice Areas

Jenn focuses primarily on family and domestic relations law, with particular experience in cases involving children and complex family dynamics. Her practice includes:

Divorce and dissolution
Child custody and parenting time
Child support establishment and modification
Custody and family reunification matters
Representation of unmarried parents and paternity cases
Parental alienation concerns
Domestic violence and civil protection orders
Contempt of court proceedings, when warranted
Grandparents’ rights
Adoption
Post-decree modifications
Advocacy involving children with special needs, including disputes related to IEPs and educational compliance

Jenn is especially known for handling custody cases involving special needs children, substance abuse recovery, and high-conflict parenting situations. As a parent of a child with Down syndrome, she brings personal insight and practical understanding to cases involving disabilities, education plans, and non-traditional parenting arrangements.

In addition to family law, Jenn also handles select consumer protection matters, including cases involving fraud, deceptive business practices, and violations of Ohio’s Consumer Sales Practices Act.

Approach to Clients

Jenn is direct, empathetic, and realistic. She does not promise impossible outcomes, but she does promise honesty, preparation, and tireless advocacy. She works to de-escalate unnecessary conflict, resolve cases efficiently when possible, and litigate aggressively when needed. Above all, she helps clients focus on what truly matters so they can move forward into the next chapter of their lives.

For Jenn Meyer, the goal is never just to end a case. It is to help people reach a place where they, and their families, can be okay and begin again.

Personal Life

When Jenn is not working, her attention is laser-focused on being the best mom possible to her three children, all boys, aged between 10 & 14. She finds joy in cooking and rocking out to classic 90s music.
